Falls Of Rauros happens to be a nebular collective hailing from Portland (US) that releases its fourth studio album with ‘Vigilance Perennial’. It is atmospheric black metal with mostly long songs in which the echoing screams cleave through the icy mountain sides. Beautiful melodious leads serpentine around us. The region is famous for its Cascadian black metal, with much space for folk influences, slower passages and atmosphere. You have to be in the right mood; then fans of Wolves In The Throne Room, Agalloch or Panopticon might find another band in Falls Of Rauros that appeal to them. The genre is close to our hearts, but we have heard better bands in this genre.
